• Artist Spotlight: AssasinMonkey / Holivi / PeterParkerWorks / Xiao668




    Artists, regardless of their field, are what make this fandom go round! Welcome once again to yet another edition of the Artist Spotlight. We've got some amazing artists for you all to check out today so make sure to check them out after the break!

    As usual, these posts are in similar style to the Tumblr Spotlights, a group of 3-4 artists will be spotlit each entry along with a small short description along with a small selection of their artwork! In order to make this feature work though we need people to suggest artists to us so make sure to send artists you think need some exposure to calpain@equestriadaily.com. Please also include a short biography I can work with as well as what medium you work in most.

    What sort of artists count? Suggestions should follow these criteria:
    • No clop or extensive gore galleries as those typically violate our content guidelines. If the artist has a safe for work gallery separate from their not safe for work stuff they or their fans can submit the safe for work gallery. If there is a mix of SFW/NSFW on a gallery the decision whether or not to include them will be judged on a gallery to gallery basis.
    • Don't be afraid to spotlight yourself as well as others!
    • Artists of all types accepted -vector, OC, traditional, digital. As long as it is pony and of quality it has a chance of being spotlit. 
    Now on to the artists!


    AsssasinMonkey

    First up in our tour of the world of pony artists tonight is the super talented AssasinMonkey! A regular in our livestream posts I have had the honor of watching his work slowly progress over the past year to what he is today. Very detail oriented with a unique style all his own, he is able to pull off anthro, pony, backgrounds and everything in between with great flair and usually while teaching others to do so themselves. Check out some examples below and pay him a visit at his gallery!

    Holivi

    Continuing on the idea of varied styles and incredible range in their work our next artist is one of the most versatile I've seen with a little bit of something for everyone in her gallery I believe! Holivi is a master of a soft, colorful style that looks fantastic whether its anthro, human, pony, or otherwise. So if you haven't already, check out her gallery and be prepared to fall in love!

    PeterParkerWorks

    Our next artist is one that I did not know about until just a couple weeks ago, but his work has left an impression on me enough to share him with you all tonight! While still getting setup in the pony scene, the artwork he has produced so far is a treat for the eye with its attention to detail and how he manages to follow show style with a twist of his own added to the mix. Check out his work below and pay a visit to his galleries! You won't be disappointed!

    Xiao668

    Last up tonight to wrap up our fun is Xiao668! I'm a sucker for show style that happens to have just a little twist of the artist's unique talents added in for good measure. Combined with soft tones and just a cute style overall, Xiao is certainly someone to check out!
